We can make light bulbs shine. We had 2 wires and we joined the wires from the bulb to each end of the battery. It is called a CIRCUIT. We drew a picture of our circuit and then we made a circuit with 2 lights.

| A circuit with 1 light. |
Wednesday 4th September
Today we made the light bulb shine and then we used a switch to turn the light on and off. The switch breaks the connection / circuit so the power doesn't get to the light bulb.
It wasn't easy we had to try many ways until we got it working.
 |
| This is our switch turned on. If we want the light out the switch handle is straight up. |
Next we made a city.
We have switches so that our lights can be turned off and on.
Today we are having an open day so our whanau can come and see what we have been doing at school.
Our parents came to look and we showed them our city, the Sky Tower and the cruise ship and our blog.
 |
| We showed our whanau and fans how to switch the lights of the buildings off and on. |
 |
| We showed them our Sky Tower lights. |
 |
| Our parents thought our city was stupendous and we had done a good job. We visited the other classes and look at what they had made.       |
